Path Of Exile 2: Ancient Vows Guide | Where To Find & Place Relics

As an avid gamer who’s weathered countless storms in the realm of Path of Exile 2, I must say that the Ancient Vows quest has left me scratching my head more times than I care to remember. The randomness of this quest makes it feel like a game within the game, and sometimes, it feels like the game is playing with us!

In the second act of Path of Exile 2, one of the tasks available is called Ancient Vows. This quest involves locating a set of Relics and then positioning them on an altar.

This journey also holds a certain element of unpredictability. Unlike others initiated by Non-Player Characters (NPCs), this one spontaneously begins once you discover one of the Relics. However, its random elements and peculiar quirks sometimes make it more challenging than expected.

Fret not, though, we’ll help you complete this quest no matter what issues you may face!

Previously mentioned, there are two artifacts called Relics that you need to locate for the Ancient Vows mission in Path of Exile 2. You can find these relics from Act 2 onwards in the campaign, but their appearance is entirely random. The quest becomes active once you collect either of the Relics.

These are the Relics and where to find them:

  • Sun Clan Relic – The game says you can find this Relic in the Mastodon Badlands. However, it seems to drop randomly from enemies in The Bone Pits area instead. Whether this is a glitch or an issue with the quest objective text is unknown. Either way, you’ll need to kill the Sun Clan Scavenger enemies in The Bone Pits until you get it.

  • Kabala Clan Relic – You can get this Relic as a random drop from enemies in Keth. It seems to primarily drop from serpentine enemies, like the Serpent Shamans.

As a devoted admirer, once I’ve successfully obtained both relics, it’ll be my duty to unearth a sacred altar in the majestic Valley of Titans.

Placing the Relics at the Altar

Just as with other adventures, such as the Secrets in the Dark quest, the location you need to discover now is hidden randomly because maps are generated procedurally. However, you’re searching for the Medallion altar depicted earlier, which is often found nearby the area’s Beacon (or Waypoint).

Engage with the altar and place the Sun Clan’s artifact on its right side, followed by the Kabala Clan’s artifact on the left side. At present, the interface might be tricky when using mouse and keyboard. However, holding down the ALT key while moving the Relics appears to alleviate this issue somewhat. As an alternative, you could opt for a controller specifically during this section.

Once you place the Relics, you can pick one of the two following permanent buffs:

  • 30% Increased Charm Charges Gained
  • 15% Mana Recovery from Flasks

Regardless of the buff you choose, it will persist throughout your gaming session. But should you wish to alter your decision, feel free to return to the altar and select a different buff at any point.

Nonetheless, that’s everything you need to know to find and place the relics as part of the “Ancient Vows” quest in Path of Exile 2. Pretty rewarding quest… despite the many issues such as the altar’s finicky interface and incorrect in-game objective text! Well, that’s just how it is with Early Access games, it seems…
